title: Postvoid film of intravenous pyelogram in diagnosis of urethral diverticulum.
abstract: Urethral diverticulum is a correctable cause of lower urinary tract symptoms in women. It has been found to be present in from 1.85 to 4.7 per cent of all females. The postvoid film of the intravenous urogram (IVP) is the simplest and least invasive method available to diagnose urethral diverticula. It should be a routine part of the IVP in women with lower urinary tract symptoms.
